Dogmatism And Race

A meta-analysis of 55 independent studies published in
Personality and Social Psychology Review finds that religious devotion has a positive correlation to racist sentiment. John Shook is not surprised:

Let's read that conclusion again: "Only religious agnostics
were racially tolerant." Why would religious agnostics be more
humanistic and less racist?
Religious agnostics would be people who combine a
religious/spiritual attitude in living life with a humble admission
that they don't know if their approach is the only right way. Religious
agnostics are pluralistic -- they have no problem admiring how
different people can enjoy different religious paths. And it is
precisely this lack of dogmatism which permits humanistic values to
shine through.
